Well I hope your reading is going well. I know for most of you it has been impossible to not read ahead which is great! Just means you are enjoying what you are reading and that can't be anything but good. Let me encourage you again to feel free to comment on what you are reading whether it is from a portion of the book I have lifted out or something else you have found interesting.
I would like to focus this post on something that has come to my attention in resent readings. It is this thought of "Promise". One of the things that has struck me in the reading so far is that these people who made the promise to consider the question "What would Jesus do?" in their daily lives are sticking true to that promise. To me at least this idea sort of flys in the face of the modern concept of a promise. When I think of promises I think of the old TV program "Little House on the Prairie". In that show there were a number of times when someone would get something like seed to plant crops but they didn't have the money to pay but they simply promised to do so and that was good enough. Today our word can't be good enough we need to involve lawyers and contracts and even then there is no guarantee the promise will be kept. Finding some one who makes a promise and keeps it is like finding that Pearl of great price Jesus spoke of.
It would be great to get back to the place where are promise was a promise and not just a pleasantry.
What do you think?
